"That which we have already completely seen and we have already
completely heard, we also ever announce unto you. in order that you also may
ever have fellowship with us: and indeed ourfellowship is
with the Fatherand His Son Jesus Christ" (I John 1:3,
Expanded Greek Translation –
EGT).

John certainly declares that
Christ,the Son – was ever in
the beginning with God the Father (John
1:1). John further declares that all
things created were made through Christ
(John 1:2). Paul goes even further and proclaims that Christ is the image of the invisible God, the Father and that byChrist"all things
were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and
invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.
All things were created through Him and
for Him. And He is before all things,
and in Himall things consist" (Col.
1:15-17). The Word became flesh
and dwelt among men as Jesus of
Nazareth, that He might declare the Father and that men through
Him might see and know the Father
(John 1:14, 18). This is why Jesus
told His disciples in the upper room, just before
He went to the cross, that if they saw and knew
Him, then they saw and knew the Father
(John 14:7,9). The Son and the Father are in union, and the Son has been sent to reveal the Father so that we can truly have a love fellowship withHim (Matt. 11:27).

Everything began in eternity past in the heart and mind of our eternal,
and invisible Father. Our Father placed us
in Christ (Eph. 1:4), and the Lamb was slain in the heart and mind of
the Father (Rev. 13:8), before Christ created the angels, heavens, earth
or any other thing in this universe. Our
Father wanted an eternal relationship and fellowshipwith
us, before anything else was planned
or created! What marvelouslove, that our
Heavenly FatherFIRST put us
in Christ
so that we could have an eternal relationship and
fellowship withHim! What
marvelousgrace
that the Lamb was also FIRST slain on
our behalf, so that we would have a fully purchased and secure eternal
relationship with our Heavenly Father! What
an awesome and secure eternal plan our Father
has provided for us! If we just simply
believe in our Father that He is satisfied with the complete sacrifice
of His Son on our behalf, and by Hispower
raised Him from the dead, we will be eternally saved by the resurrection power of the life of His Son
in us
(Rom. 4:24,10:9, 5:10).

Out of John's eternal revelation and knowledge, he
declares that "ourfellowship is
with the Fatherand His Son Jesus Christ"
(I John 1:3). The Father sent the Holy Spirit to baptize us into the Body ofChrist
(I Cor. 12:13), through a Spirit rebirthing by the incorruptible Word of God
(I Pet. 1:23)

–
the Seed of the fullness of His Son in
Person, Spirit, nature, and life (Gal. 2:20; Rom. 8:9; II Pet. 1:4; I John
5:11-12). The Holy Spirit will
keep transforming our thinking to align with the
mindofChrist within us (I Cor. 2:16). The
more we choose and let the Sonin ususe Hismind and flow with Hislove-for-othersSpiritinus, the
more Hislife flow cleanses us (I John 1:7). The greater our fellowship is in
the Son, the more we will let Hislove-for-othersSpirit flow
through us in spontaneous living. As a result, we will also have more the revelation of the
Spirit through Christ livingin and
through usspontaneously.
His Son
spontaneously living in and through
us with Hislove-for-otherslife and
Spirit, will be the open door into that full love
fellowshipwithourHeavenly Father.
